Just let HFBoards pick the 1st round and Burke can pick rest of draft. Sharks would be in much better shape if this was the case for the last 5 years.
#Fallin4Dahlin
Fun fact (that I actually meant to put in the title): Dahlin does not rhyme with Fallin’. It rhymes with “careen”.
The Roman Polak trade... the gift that keeps on giving...
I dunno, if his name rhymes with Wallin I don't want him anymore
A name that close means he's destined for failure
Man. f*** that trade.The Roman Polak trade... the gift that keeps on giving...
2017: Yamamoto instead of Norris
2016: no first
2015: Rantanen/Barzal instead of Meier
2014: Fabbri/Pastrnak instead of Goldy
2013: Rychel/Mantha instead of Mueller
2012: Teravainen? Over Hertl
Hertl was an absolute win as a draft pick until Dustin Brown came along. He's never been the same since.
That 4 goal game was like his 2nd game in the NHL. It's not like he had an established play style at that point.Don't think it helped the psychological component when he got a talking to after the Rangers game 4 goal outburst with the famous between the legs goal. He never looked the same to me after that.
Didn't Mantha go before the Sharks pick in that year?

Nope. Mantha went with the pick the Sharks originally had. Mueller was taken two picks before Mantha.
Sharks traded up for Mueller and bypassed Mantha? The drafting follies, particularly 1st round ones, keeps getting better and better. Fire DW and Burke!
Their trades and signings of experience NHL players have largely been horrible, and so is their 1st round drafting. Two key player acquisition methods.
I'd allow the ownership group to let the team take it's course until December, and if they are still hovering around the bottom, fire those two plus Spott, and let the incoming GM sort the rest out.
Best possible outcome is to win the draft lottery, draft Dahlin, then trade either Burns or Vlasic for a 1st round pick, and a top 1st line center prospect, and a good scoring winger.

Whoever wins the lottery this year is going to be very very happy.That Dahlen highlight reel is rediculous. Yeah, most of it looks like competition against his age-mates, but he looked like he had better puck-handling under speed than anyone currently on the Sharks roster. Just ridiculous stick-handling. Would absolutely love to get him. Don't see it ever happening though.
I agree, if we're not any good; then be very bad and get at least a top 5 pick.Im certainly not calling the season after 2 games.
But if we are gonna suck, lets try not to be a bubble team.
This is the Sharks though, I just expect to lose the lotto.Don’t forget that there are three shots at the lottery now. The teams that won last year didn’t suck all that much.
Even if we are supposed to win the Lotto the NHL will decide to give it to someone else.This is the Sharks though, I just expect to lose the lotto.
Please no. We get dicked by the league enough. Please no more ;w;Even if we are supposed to win the Lotto the NHL will decided to give it to someone else.
I'm pretty dubious about our chances of scoring over 200 goals on the season which would add up to like a bottom 10 finish.
